“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.”

9400 block of East 38th Street. That person, found lying in the street,
was shot multiple times and transported to Wishard Memorial Hospital in
critical condition.The
second shooting was reported around 8:40 p.m. on the Near Northside
near East 25th Street and Hillside Avenue. ... He was reported in serious
condition.
The third shooting was reported around 8:50 p.m. on the Westside in the 1800
block of North Dexter Street, near Kuntz Stadium. A man was found lying
in the street with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Wishard in
critical condition.

Meanwhile a newly-opened Walgreens near 56th Street and Georgetown Road was robbed. The Star again reports:

A man late Tuesday leaped over the pharmacy counter at a
Northwestside Walgreens, showed a handgun and forced a store worker to
fill a bag with drugs, police said.

Specifically,
the man stole Oxycodone and Oxycontin pain pills, police said, along
with Vyvanse, a medication used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD). He also demanded cough syrup, according to an
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department report....The total number of pills taken numbered 2,357, according to the report, and represent a value of $11,900.
